Hi everyone,

It’s me, Daniel. We have some great activities planned to get you all into the Christmas spirit!

Remember that we are also open in Christmas and to celebrate it we have a complete programme of Christmas activities between the 17th and the 28th December, including a visit to the Christmas market and a multicultural Christmas lunch in the school where we will all bring something typical from our countries to share!

Look out for more news on what is going on at the school this Christmas…
